Pros

Good company benefits Nice colleagues Good location

Cons

Every person I know is doing the work of 2-3 people by themselves. People who should be at mid/high end of their salary brackets are on the lowest range. Employees are rarely told when they're doing a good job, only made to feel awful when they've made a mistake.
